Hungaroton

Founded as state label Hungarian record company Magyar Hanglemezgyártó Vállalat (M.H.V.) in 1951. Label Code: LC 1181 / LC 01181

The records were originally released under the label Qualiton up to the mid-sixties when the new brand name Hungaroton was created. Qualiton then furtherly existed as sublabel for folk music only, while Hungaroton became the template for pop, literature and mainly classical releases. Fotexnet bought the record company but kept the label alive with a huge and successful Hungarian pop & classical catalog.

Alias: Hungaroton Magyar Hanglemezgyártó Vállalat or just MHV. Early name in the socialist era was only Magyar Hanglemezgyártó Vállalat, Magyar Hanglemezgyártó Vállalat (M.H.V.)
